Lol! Good luck learning manual-its great fun if you like to drive. I briefly thought about getting an automatic Z...but for me the manual shifting is part of the power experience...so thats where i went...try them both, extensively, before you decide, thats a lot of money to spend and find out afterwards "I wish..." good luck and be safe whatever you choose! (i am a bit jealous
my Z was a long time coming-happy for you!!)
P.s. i've only had my Z two months and it has yet to get tiresome OR boring-still get a thrill when i realize again "it's mine-all mine"!!! Yay us!
